The first number is the tire width, the second is the aspect ratio, meaning that in this case it is 100% of the 110 mm width in height. If you multiply the 120 by the 90% amd come out with about the same height it would be a go, assuming the bike can handle the width. The real proof is in the puttin'. BB A12 "Green Go-Nad"
